Calling all Dance Educators!

We are currently seeking webinar presenters for the first half of 2024 (Jan-July). If you have a webinar topic you'd like to share with NDEO and the field, and you have scheduling availability between January and July of 2024 please consider submitting via the linked form below. You can review some guiding questions below or email kschultz@ndeo.org with any questions!

Due December 15, 2023

Submit a Proposal

Is there a topic in dance education you are particularly passionate about? Do you have experience or expertise that other dance teachers may benefit from? Reach and inspire other dance educators across the country through an online webinar! 

In alignment with our commitment to Justice, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion work, NDEO is currently seeking new and diverse perspectives for future online webinars. 

Interested presenters may submit proposals on any topic directly related to dance education or related fields (arts administration, culturally relevant teaching practices, studio management, somatics, dance science, current events/hot topics in dance education, etc.) Examples of past webinars have included:

  • Undoing White Supremacy and Responding to Trauma in Dance: How One Community Dance Program is Adapting
  • Teaching Dance Virtually to Students with Disabilities
  • Embodying Latinidad: Diverse Dance Practices of Intersectional Latinx/a/o Artists in the U.S.
  • Disrupting Gender Assumptions: Challenging Cis-Heteronormative Narratives in Dance
  • Dance Education for All Bodies
  • Are Dance Competitions Disrupting the Power and Progress of Dance Education?

Interested presenters are encouraged to review past webinars to get a sense of the scope of topics that have been covered.
